Damian Lillard leaves with calf injury, Portland Trail Blazers lose 1st game of season to Miami Heat

The Portland Trail Blazers undefeated start to the season ended with a 119-98 loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. But the headline was that Damian Lillard left the game with a calf injury midway through the third quarter. In the locker room after the game, Lillard sounded confident who wouldn't miss too much time beyond Friday's game against the Houston Rockets in Portland. And he also offered important perspective on what his injury can help the Blazers learn about themselves. We close the show looking ahead as the Blazers early season issues with rebounding and turnovers showed up in a major way against Miami. Extra possessions have been a problem for Portland all year.
